He is 61 and I am 60. We are both on disability and neither have remarried. I want to know if I can start drawing on his ss after I am 62 or if I would lose part of my benefits or possibly lose by drawing early.

Customer reply replied 3 years ago

When I am 66 what percentage of his ss can I collect,and will it reduce mine?

Hi, my name is ***** ***** I thank you for your inquiry. I have been practicing SS law full time for 10+ years and look forward to assisting you.If you were married for more than 10 years, you are eligible for a spousal benefit. That amount would be from a low 35% of your ex's primary insurance amount if you took at age 62, to a high of 50% if you wait til age 66.It does not reduce your own benefit, but you can't collect both so you have to pick one or the other.I hope this helps! My goal is to provide you with excellent and accurate service – if you feel you have gotten anything less, please reply back, I am happy to address follow-up questions. Kindly rate me "excellent" when you are done. I look forward to assisting you in the future, should you have legal questions.
